All About Wintec Saddles
Wintec Saddles and the Advantages of Synthetic Saddles
By Sharon MacKay
Ron and Ken Bates made racing saddles from kangaroo hides. The light weight and strength of the kangaroo hides worked really well for horses. However, the unlined animal hide didn’t really appeal to most equestrians because the hide had a tendency to wrinkle.
By using the knitted fabric that is used to cover neoprene wet suits laminated to the foam, the first Wintec synthetic saddle was born. Wintec saddles continue to be loved by jockeys the world over.
One of the most popular features of the Wintec saddle is the CAIR panel system, which uses air panels in place of the traditional flocking material. Each saddle panel has two independently sealed air panels.
The air provides a more comfortable fit for the horse because it constantly adapts to the changes in the horse’s muscles. Hence the rider’s weight will be evenly distributed across the entire panel and virtually eliminates pressure points on the horse’s body.
The revolutionary Easy-Change Gullet System has been a large improvement to Wintec saddle quality. This design ensures that saddles maintain a great fit for any horse. Riders can be assured that the Easy-Change Gullet System will fit to suit the horse’s changing shape due to aging. Also, this design allows the saddle to change as the horse increases or decreases in fitness levels.
If the gullet is too narrow, it may restrict the horse’s shoulder movement. A gullet that is too wide can cause the saddle to sit on the wither and damage the spine. The system means you don’t have to buy a saddle for each horse, and you don’t have to buy a saddle for a new horse.
As a champion saddle winner in the English Derby, Wintec saddles are popular among jockeys especially in Britain. Wintec saddles offer great horse fitting technology in a variety of colors. The equestrian community often takes notice of Wintec saddles when a perfect saddle fit is required.
